This Lim-2 was used in this Iraqi Air Force colourscheme in the 1988 movie Steel the Sky. Unfortunately, it was fully unmarked. It possibly belonged to a shipment of fourteen former Polish Air Force Lim-2's that went thru the UK in 1986 to the USA, being serials 271, 638, 640, 817, 822, 1013, 1016, 1120, 1205, 1416, 1606, 1614, 1621, 1629. Anyone able to confirm its identity? This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
